How can you be sure you'll save any money?

And they are seperate from the car already so prep should be minimal.

Prep is one of, if not, THE most important step for shooting paint. Especially, if you're going over another color.

No quality painter is going to trust your prep work, or take responsibility if it begins to bubble or flake.

The coin you save is going to be on the finish side by being done (hopefully) right the first time and only once!

So should I just let the painter do it?

I would. If something goes wrong with the paint, the painter can't say it was due to poor prep work! Covers you my friend!
